Special Weather Statement, NWS Philadelphia/Mount Holly

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
440 AM EDT TUE SEP 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STATIONARY FRONT EASTWARD THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES FROM
THE PERSISTENT MIDWEST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS THE FOCUS FOR DENSE
FOG THIS MORNING. WHILE THE MAIN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INTO
CENTRAL CANADA LATER THIS WEEK...IT WILL SPAWN A NEW LOW CENTER ON
THE WARM FRONT IN OUR AREA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY DELIVERING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY WILL USHER IN
COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TO THE
CENTRAL APPALACHIANS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A NEAR CARBON COPY FORECAST FROM YESTERDAY TO START THE DAY TODAY.
WE HAVE PATCHY AREAS OF FOG ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THAT SHOULD
BEGIN TO DISSIPATE AND LIFT AFTER SUNRISE, ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD LAST
THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING RUSH PERIOD. WE HAVE HELD OFF ON A
DENSE FOG ADVISORY AT THIS TIME BEING THAT VSBYS CONTINUE TO GO UP
AND DOWN AND HAVE NOT BEEN STEADY AT 1/4 OF A MILE OR LOWER YET.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS IN CASE WE
NEED TO ISSUE A SHORT FUSED ADVISORY.

THE MID/UPPER LOW STILL IS NOT MAKING MUCH PROGRESS EASTWARD
TODAY. REMAINING ON THE EAST SIDE, WE EXPECT A FAIR AMOUNT OF
CLOUD COVER FOR MUCH OF THE DAY, ALTHOUGH WE CAN EXPECT SOME
SUNSHINE LATER TODAY, SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. HOWEVER, A PIECE OF
ENERGY IS FORECAST TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE LOW OUT WEST AND
APPROACH THE AREA LATER TODAY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT AS THIS
DISTURBANCE MAKES ITS WAY TOWARD OUR AREA, WE COULD SEE SOME
SHOWER ACTIVITY. ANY SUNSHINE COULD LEAD TO SOME INSTABILITY, SO
AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT. WHILE THE GRIDDED
FORECAST HAS POPS ALL DAY, THE BEST CHANCE IS EXPECTED LATER THIS
AFTERNOON ONCE WE BREAK OUT OF THE FOG AND THE VORTICITY ALOFT
APPROACHES.

THICKNESSES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO INCREASE MUCH, AND WITH THE AMOUNT
OF CLOUD COVER AND POSSIBILITY OF SHOWER ACTIVITY, TEMPERATURES
SHOULD NOT RISE MUCH MORE THAN THEY HAVE THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
MOS NUMBERS RESEMBLED THIS AND WERE CLOSE, THEREFORE WE BLENDED
THE MAV/MET, WITH A SLIGHTLY GREATER EMPHASIS ON THE MAV.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
ANY SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY FROM THE DAY WILL LIKELY LAST
INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THE DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY
PROGRESS EASTWARD. WITH THE MOISTURE IN THE AIR AND AND THE
DISTURBED ATMOSPHERE, WE KEPT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ALL NIGHT LONG
IN THE GRIDDED FORECAST, ALTHOUGH THE BEST PROBABILITY IS
CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO OCCUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT. WE HAVE DECIDED TO
NOT INCLUDE FOG IN THE FORECAST AT THIS POINT AS WHATEVER SHOWERS
THAT DO OCCUR MAY BE ENOUGH TO HELP MIX THE ATMOSPHERE ENOUGH TO
PREVENT FOG FROM FORMING. MAV/MET MOS WERE CLOSE, SO A BLEND OF
THE TWO WAS TAKEN. WITH A SLIGHT DIP IN THE THICKNESSES, WE MAY BE A
DEGREE OR TWO COOLER TUESDAY NIGHT THAN MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THIS FORECAST IS BLENDED 00Z/27 NCEP GUIDANCE...AT TIMES BLENDED
WITH THE PRIOR 4PM MONDAY KPHI FCST.

WEDNESDAY...WARM ADVECTION SHOULD PRODUCE SCT OR BROKEN AREAS OF
SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED TSTMS. WE SAW THE DAY 2 SPC SEE TEXT AND
THIS MAY VERIFY THOUGH AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT STRATUS HAVING
A DIFFICULT TIME CLEARING THEREBY NOT PERMITTING A WARMER MORE
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE FOR STRONG AFTN CONVECTION PER SPC DAY 2. BEST
CHC FOR ANY SVR...IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WOULD BE ALONG OR S OF THE
WFRONT IN E MD/CENTRAL-S DE. BOTH 0-3K SHEAR AND 0-6K LOOK MARGINAL
FOR ANY SVR IN THE AFTN.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THU...CAPPED THE BLENDED GUIDANCE POPS AT 76 PCT
FOR COLLABORATIVE PURPOSES. SHOWERS AND ISO TSTMS IN THE WAA AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING WSHIFT.

THU AFTN/EVE...THIS SEEMS TO BECOME MORE INTERESTING FROM A THUNDER/ISO
SVR PERSPECTIVE AS BOTH SHEAR AND TT INCREASE IN ASSN WITH THE MIDWEST
TROF SENDING A NEG TILT PIECE OF ENERGY THROUGH THE MID ATLC STATES.
DO NOT HAVE HAIL/GUSTY WIND IN THE FCST BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE A
POSSIBLE HAIL/WIND EVENT FOR LATE THU AFTN? SHEAR IS MORE THAN
ADEQUATE IF WE CAN HEAT UP AND DESTABILIZE.

THESE NEXT 4 DAYS LISTED BELOW SHOULD WORK OUT NEARLY AS GRIDDED
BUT THE PATTERN DOES HAVE SOME SPREAD IN THE SOLUTIONS THAT COULD
COMPLICATE THE DRIER COOLER SCENARIO. CONFIDENCE AT BEST IS AVG.

FRI-SUN...TRENDING TO A COOLER THAN NORMAL PATTERN. COULD BE A FEW
AFTN SPRINKLES...ESP E PA AND NNJ THIS WEEKEND AND BLENDED NEW
MEX POPS W THE PRIOR FCST. GUSTY NW WINDS IN THE AFTN...ESPECIALLY
THE WKND. THE SHOWERS IN THE FCST FOR FRIDAY REFLECTS UNCERTAINTY
IN THE STRENGTH OF A SHORT WAVE PASSING NEWD UP THE EAST SIDE OF
THE HIGH AMPLITUDE N-S TROUGH ALOFT.

MONDAY...DETERMINISTIC TEMPS MAY BE 5 DEGS TOO WARM IN THE COUNTRYSIDE.
THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY WE MAY SEE A FROST IN NNJ AND NE PA BUT
NO MENTION IN HWO NOR WAS THE 00Z/27 MEX GUIDANCE LOWERED ON THIS
SHIFT. WAA CLOUDS COULD ELIMINATE THE RISK.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VERY SIMILAR SITUATION TO YESTERDAY THIS MORNING. THE TAF SITES
ALL VARY FROM VFR TO LIFR AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE FOG AND
STRATUS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH SUNRISE, THEN BEGIN TO
LIFT AND DISSIPATE WITH IN A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTERWARD; BASICALLY
THE SAME AS IT DID YESTERDAY. ONCE THE FOG/STRATUS LIFTS, WE
EXPECT STRATOCUMULUS/ALTOCUMULUS CLOUDS TO DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO
THE AREA. A DISTURBANCE ALOFT MAY APPROACH THE AREA LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND COULD CAUSE SOME SHOWERS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO THIS EVENING. THERE IS SOME INSTABILITY FORECAST, BUT FOR NOW
WE WILL ONLY CARRY A CB IN THE TAF ALONG WITH THE SHOWERS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON. THE SHOWERS MAY LAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND
PART OF THE OVERNIGHT, SO THIS MAY HELP LIMIT ADDITIONAL FOG
DEVELOPMENT TUESDAY NIGHT, ALTHOUGH LOW STRATUS IS A GOOD
POSSIBILITY. FOR NOW WE CARRY IFR CIGS/VSBYS STARTING AFTER 02Z
WEDNESDAY.

WINDS SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD, REMAINING BELOW
10 KNOTS. ANY SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO SWING MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY LATER THIS MORNING, AND EVENTUALLY ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME EASTERLY OVERNIGHT TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY MORNING.

OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...IFR OR LIFR AT TIMES IN ST/FOG ALONG AND
NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS.
SE WIND G TO 20 KT POSSIBLE WED AFTN AND SW WIND G TO 15 KT
POSSIBLE THU AFTN. LOW PROB ISO STRONG TSTMS LATE IN THE DAY
IN ASSN WITH A COLD TROUGH ALOFT.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...VFR. NW GUSTS TO 25 KT POSSIBLE SAT. COULD
BE ISOLATED MVFR CONDS IN ANY SHOWERS OVER THE POCONOS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA TODAY
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. SEAS REMAIN AROUND 4 FEET, WHICH IS WHAT
WAVE WATCH CONTINUES TO FORECAST. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SEAS MAY
APPROACH 5 FEET AT BUOY 9, BUT THE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
CONSISTENTLY 5 FEET OR GREATER. THEREFORE WE WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY
ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.

OUTLOOK...
A WARM FRONT WITH DENSE FOG POTENTIAL WED INTO EARLY THU IN NJ/DE.
A CHC WE WILL NEED SCA FOR SEAS ON THE ATLC WATERS WED NIGHT OR
THU BUT FOR NOW A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH.

A CFP FRI MAY BE FOLLOWED BY NW G 25 KTS SAT AND A SEEMINGLY
BETTER CHC OF SCA CONDS DEVELOPING THIS WKND IN NW FLOW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
HPC DAY 1-3 QPF IS POSTED AND SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR SPOTTY 2 TO
2.5 INCH AMTS IN E PA OR W NJ. GRIDDED 6 HR FFG AOB 1.5 INCHES
OPENS THE DOOR FOR FOR A BIT OF CONCERN IN PARTS OF MORRIS AND
SUSSEX COUNTIES OF NNJ AND BUCKS/BERKS/MONTGOMERY COUNTIES IN SE
PA. NO FFA ATTM.

THIS PAST FRI EVENT WAS THE 1-3 INCH RANGE WITH ONLY A BIT OF
SMALLER STREAM FLOODING AND COULD SEE THAT WE MIGHT EVENTUALLY NEED
TO ISSUE SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES IN EITHER E PA OR NNJ BUT NOT
A MAJOR RIVER FLOOD SITN.

03Z/27 SREF FOR SOME REASON IS VERY CONSERVATIVE WITH MEAN AMTS AT
KABE OF LESS THAN 1 INCH WHILE THE 00Z/27 GEFS IS MORE SUBSTANTIAL.

HWO FOR NOW HAS A CONSERVATIVE WORDING OF POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING.

PLEASE SEE CLI SECTION FOR MONTHLY RAINFALL...A SECOND
CONSECUTIVE TOP 10 MONTH.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
WE WILL START WHAT VERY LIKELY WILL BE A RUN OF DAYS WITH NEAR
MINOR OR MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. ITS NEARLY ALL ABOUT THE
ASTRONOMICAL SPRING TIDES WHICH ARE QUITE HIGH WITH THE NEW MOON.
THE HIGH TIDE AT THE CAPE MAY FERRY TERMINAL ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY MORNINGS EQUAL THE THRESHOLD CRITERIA FOR MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING.

AS FOR THE WEDNESDAY MORNING HIGH TIDE, THE HIGHER OF THE TWO
ASTRONOMICALS, CURRENT TIDAL DEPARTURES AND ASTRONOMICAL
PROJECTIONS WILL TAKE US RIGHT AROUND THE CRITERIA FOR MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING ALONG THE OCEAN SIDE. WE HAVE ISSUED A STATEMENT
CONCERNING THIS HIGH TIDE. THERE IS MORE OF A BUFFER UP THE
DELAWARE BAY AND DELAWARE RIVER, SO THE HIGH TIDE SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW CRITERIA ON WEDNESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. CHESAPEAKE BAY
APPEARS THE SAFEST AS DEPARTURES GREATER THAN 1.0 FOOT ARE NEEDED
AND CBOFS WHICH TENDS TO BE A BIT AGGRESSIVE IS NOT PREDICTING ANY
MINOR TIDAL FLOODING AT THE MOMENT.

THE ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES CONTINUE TO CREEP UPWARD INTO FRIDAY,
SO THE CHANCES OF REACHING AND GOING DEEPER INTO MINOR TIDAL
FLOODING CRITERIA WILL INCREASE IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

&&

.RIP CURRENTS...
WITH A FAIRLY LONG PERIOD OF 8 SECONDS OR HIGHER EXPECTED WITH
THE SWELLS TUESDAY, AND WITH A SOUTHEAST WIND OF 8 TO 10 KNOTS,
AND ALSO WITH THE NEW MOON OCCURRING...IT WAS DECIDED TO LEAVE THE
MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS FOR TUESDAY, EVEN THOUGH OUR
INTERNAL GUIDANCE WAS BORDERING ON LOW TO MODERATE.

&&

.CLIMATE...
RANKING OF MONTHLY RAINFALL A FEW LONG TERM CLIMATE SITES THRU 9/26.

KRDG 11.11 WETTEST EVER 12.35 1999 POR DATING BACK TO 1869
